Summary

Lesley Dilcock, with the help of Catherine Gratwicke's glorious photographs, displays unusual combinations of old and new, exotic and everyday, and shows how to mix ingredients from different cultures around the world with creative flair and panache -- without breaking the bank. in Global Style, Lesley celebrates different color palettes, textures, surfaces, and textiles from as far afield as India, Africa, and the Far East. The style can be built up from a single object -- a hand-crafted African bowl, a length of Japanese silk -- or it can be inspired by nothing more tangible than a mood or color -- the heady atmosphere of the Moroccan souk or the earthy tones of an Indian bazaar.
